Once again here is trivial nitpicking over semantics rather than Radley’s point. The hot dog/bun ratio is designed to get the consumer to BUY MORE. “Oh just buy more buns and the problem is solved.” say the responders. Simpler solution: forget the bun, the bread is low grade wonder bread anyway. Use a knife and fork, wrap it in crescent roll and bake, etc.

Name calling, dismissing an argument because of an error in terminology then claim superiority is not debate-it pettiness. No one has credibility with a response that uses personal insults. Do you want to make a valid counter point or be juvenile?

Re: 10 dogs/pack but only 8 buns/bag.

Am I the only one the the Agitator readership who always has a guest that likes to eat their roasted wiener without a bun?

Tip for those without such friends: cut up the other two dogs, get a can of refrigerated Pillsbury croissants, and make some miniature pigs-in-a-blanket.

Yeah, tortillas are the way to go.

TY #27 Psion. Hell of an idea!

Try hot dogs on pitas or even tortillas. You can smother them in extra toppings, getting a better “bread to goodies” ratio. Wrapped in a tortilla, with plenty of chili, cheese, and sour cream heaped over them, the resulting burrito is so good your compelled to gobble the whole thing down just to be able to enjoy a second!

Tim,

The seventh hot dog isn’t meant to be cooked. It is meant as a sacrifice for a savory flavor unto the Lord.

Hot Dog buns are too “bready” for me. Usually I just put it on a slice of lightly toasted bread. But, I guess that would be no fun at pic-nics. Maybe I’m just a cheap bastard.

For crying out loud, my esteemed GF now informs me that Hebrew National comes 7 to a pack, which is just right out. Shows how much the 8/10/whatever debate matters; I didn’t even remember that!

OH, and I note there was some math discussion. I didn’t read it so I don’t know if Bob is right there or not, just making it clear I am endorsing the premium hot dog take and not any incorrect math stance, should such exist on Bob’s part.

Bob, I’m with you on this one. And others who point out how this is old issue. I think Steve Martin also attacked it (in Father of the Bride, though I could be mistaken on both counts).

Someone up there (it doesn’t matter who I suppose) mentioned how expensive premium hot dogs are so they are irrelevant to the issue. BS. I eat REAL hot dogs made with no filler etc (the gross stuff that you don’t want to think about) – i.e, guess what, Kosher rules are useful for some of us non-Jewsish types! Besides that, Hebrew National has possibly the best slogan ever, “We answer to a higher authority.” So do I, for that matter, which is especially useful when chili dogs and root beer are at hand.

Bob, clearly nobody is ever going to buy “less” wieners. Who would sell a fraction of a wiener? Since you’re talking about positive integers, you’ll want to say “fewer” wieners. I stopped reading your post after that mistake. It took me no research whatsoever to use the correct term. In the meantime, I will LOL at your inferiority.

The reason hot dogs come ten to a pack is because you will drop two of them when they come off the grill.

Duh.
